Summary:The aim of this paper is to examine the social scenarios generated by the coronavirus pandemic from the perspective of Social Systems Theory. The investigation is carried out in two steps: in the first one, in dialogue with virology, epidemiology and demography, the threatening communicative form of SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 disease is analyzed as well as its evolution in time using the risk/danger distinction; and in the second step, the dynamics of interactions, organizations, protest systems and world society are observed, focusing on some of their functional systems such as religion, politics, health and economy.
